 * Megan's Favorite Film and Novel Quotes

On Both Sides of the Wall "Take heart, Jews," Another man called out. "You'll see, with God's help we'll overcome this new misfortune too" pg. 10 This quote stood out to me because it was ironic that someone would be so confident that they could survive the Holocaust. Of course, they didn't know what was about to happen. I think in a way, the Jews did overcome the Holocaust, because in the end, Hitler's plan failed, there are still Jews today, and we are learning from this tragedy how we can make the world less hateful.

Conspiracy I thought this movie was a perfect example of how careless some people act today that end in mass destruction. In the conference, in the very beginning, most of the men did not agree with the idea of killing all of the Jews, but Reihnhard Heydreich called each of them out individually and they all ended up giving in to his ideas just so that they would not be humiliated in front of the others. If each of them had stood up for the Jews then Heydriech probably would not have succeeded in convincing all of them to go along with his plan. Today, if we all are willing to back down from helping others and going against what is wrong instead of just agreeing so that we will not have to get involved or be embarassed about ourselves, we could do a lot more for those who need our help.

Escape from Sobibor I thought the movie was pretty intense. I probably would have been the hysterical lady in the crowd of Jews before the escape. There was so much intensity in the movie, it was pretty amazing, and some parts were actually funny. I really liked the movie, it was probably one of my favorite movies I've ever watched in school. **
